The Client’s House
Community values might be the hardest to grasp in this situation since this house will be setting the precedence for the rest of the neighborhood. Of course the client will want to maximize the site and building height with regards to this particular lot. It is the architects responsibility to filter out what is not important and explaining that to the client in terms that they are comfortable with. The hardest part of any project is dealing with a client. Hopefully the client has hired you for your previous work and not for any other reasons.
Knowing that this client has many important contacts in high places, it is imperative to deal with the clients demands in a very professional manner and tend to any of his needs or concerns that he may have, as long as they don’t go against of the firm’s philosophy.
Building on such a rare and special site while being the first to do so, comes with much responsibility and will set a standard for the remaining community and its values.
